Friday Favorites

hi beautiful babes!

Loving that it's Friday, hating that there is no sunshine on the 7 day forecast for central Alabama but it's supposed to get chillier so maybe that will help with the rain!

OKAY let's get this out of the way.. this week sucked....yes I have lots to be thankful for..but just being honest that it felt like "when it rains, it pours" kinda week. Family drama {why must there always be looney toons in every family}, it felt like everything was breaking in our house, Tripp worked late hours, it's that time of the month #yay and yeah...just one of those weeks. That being said, I needed a pick-me up and BAD...guess what I did?! Put all of our holiday decorations up, just after saying I wasn't in the mood yet and guess what?! It helped!

We have had a white tree ever since Tripp bought his house and it has finally bit the dust and turned a yellow color, so we needed a tree and we both agreed that with the set up of our house it needed to be smaller. so TA-DA, I present to you the Otis Tree ....and it's GOLD!

Saturday is the last day but Hobby Lobby has a 50% off sale all holiday decor so I racked up y'all!

Here are my favs from that sale! {seriously y'all go..like NOW!}

The link for the tree is here but unfortunately that's the only item I can find online. It's such a steal regular $69.99 and got it half off!

 I got the set of Christmas lights {ours from last year were burned out} and the wooden Christmas tree set from Hob Lob too {regular $20, got it for $10}! I ain't mad y'all. {& yes I am rewatching Revenge because I'm currently out of shows to watch since I finished PLL...any new suggestions?}

Picked up that pallet wall art for like $8...absolutely loved what it said!

This little wall decor regular $20!

I know the stockings don't match but Tripp picked those out and I cherish them! I don't know how I feel about the banner..I got it last year but this year I'm not feeling it with my stockings, what do y'all think?! Sidenote: It was only the second time for me to light those candles and I did it solely for this picture then Mom and I spent 30 minutes trying to blow them all out and quickly learned we may both have emphysema hah, but for real!

Anyways, those are what I picked up at the huge sale and I highly recommend even if y'all aren't decorating yet to go by the sale to get you some cute new decor. I love all the color options, they definitely had more than just gold and black items but y'all know me!

 Back to the regularly scheduled favs:

FAVORITE ARTICLE

Such a killer story of an eating disorder survivor embracing her healthy and beautiful body! I'm a survivor as well and I am currently weighing more than I ever thought I would or that my warped mind would want but I love this article because I truly see how much her beauty shines now compared to the before pictures.
 

FAVORITE SONG

Did Justin Timberlake and Chris Stapleton absolutely kill it on the CMA Awards or what?! I had never even heard of Chris before last night and now I can't get enough. He has an Amos Lee vibe that makes me swoon everytime.

FAVORITE QUOTE

Sometimes you have to learn this the hard way but it's a good lesson to learn.

FAVORITE LOOK
I mean any shock I chose Carrie but she would look flawless in a garbage bag! My 2 favorites were:

Hair- perfection. Dress- gorgeous. Jewelry- on point. 

This was my husband's favorite dress so had to include it!

I just have to say I'm so excited for next week, I have a full week of fresh topics planned for Not-A-Mom so I hope to see you guys back here on Monday! Happiest of weekends to y'all!
